Heather W., I did not. I am waiting for something that should come about later this summer which will be more economical (re: no high preownedweddingdresses.com fees). I should be able to talk more about it in a couple of weeks.

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 20:49:33 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/kristi/?p=42435#comment-206531Yes, fashion is forever changing. Especially in the bridal world. But, I don’t know, this dress seems timeless to me. No outrageous decor that was “just a trend” for this past summer. The color even screams vintage to me, along with the crystals and how they are elegantly placed.

I believe I even commented in a past post that I thought this was a vintage piece. This dress is amazing. I feel money is shorterm, it always runs out and I always need more. Sometimes even the most frugal person becomes attached to a tangible memory. Keeping the traidition of adding to the handbag or maybe eveb starting a new tradition with this dress will mean so much more in the long run. So with all that said. Don’t sell. :)

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:26:45 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/kristi/?p=42435#comment-206445We found my grandmother’s wedding dress in her closet after she died. It was *way* too small to fit any of the granddaughters. My sister contemplated making it into a pillow, but the material was too frail, and we threw it out.

Today’s preservation strategies may be better, but at the end of the day, it may end up in the garbage. Better to sell it now (and have another bride enjoy it), and take a fantastic 1 year anniversary trip with the proceeds!

I love the idea of another bride being able to enjoy the dress (and perhaps another after her). The money can be used to buy a “daily” reminder of your pretty dress – like a ring or a piece of art.

You can then hang it on the wall in an out of the way place and smile everytime you see it.

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:12:28 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/kristi/?p=42435#comment-206348You’ll have the memories and photos forever. Sell the dress, and pass the good karma on to another bride. Put the money toward something important. The extra closet / storage space will be a bonus.

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:35:08 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/kristi/?p=42435#comment-206319I don’t understand keeping the dress. You have the memories of being absolutely resplendent on your wedding day. Selling the dress or donating the dress would not diminish that. You had the good fortune (and financial itelligence) to be able to have what by all accounts was a dream wedding. Pay it forward.
